Just as the title says, so I'm talking more than a sip or two all day. Like at least 4-8oz a day?
My lo is 10.5 months and drinks mayyyybe 0.5-1oz of water per day but I fully expect that to increase once he's off of formula at 12 months....
Did you find that once you stopped formula- or breast- feeding that LO's water intake increased pretty dramatically?

We are in the same position. LO is 10.5 mo and I offer water with all 3 meals and throughout the afternoon and evening. She really likes sucking the water up through the straw, but she spits out more than she swallows lol. I'd say most days she gets around .5-2oz. A lot of days it is the low end of that.

I don't remember.... Maybe 15m because we were also in summer? By 13m we were done with bottles and pumping so I was offering milk at meals and water during snack time.

Yes. Exactly that. I gave water before, but it was mostly a novelty. When she really decreased her nursing, her water intake went way up.

I'd say around 9 months old. I had been offering water since 5 months and always had a straw sippy near her that she could drink from whenever she wanted.

After a year for sure. He would drink water at daycare when I wasn't around to breastfeed him.

He drank water when he was really thirsty starting at 6 months or so. But then came winter and he didn't really drink any (maybe 2 oz a day on a good day). As soon as it got warmer again - which happened to be at around 12/13 months - he started drinking more water again.

Xander is two and doesn't drink a ton of water. He drinks milk most of the time.
